Here’s a list of exercises and how many calories they burn, depending on the amount of time spent performing them. Being physically active doesn’t necessarily mean having to sweat it out at the gym – you’ll be surprised how many calories you can burn performing everyday activities such as housework or gardening. Besides the obvious benefits of exercising to burn calories (losing weight and improving the way you look), being physically more active also helps to boost your mood and helps to relieve stress. Couple exercising with healthy eating, and you will not only help to control your weight, but you will help to reduce your risk of getting a variety of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
